DEMNA'S New DAWN
Harper's BAZAAR - US|March 2024
BALENCIAGA's artistic director REINVENTED FASHION for an UPSIDE-DOWN ERA by CHALLENGING us to perceive the notion of LUXURY-and BEAUTY differently. But what he's after NOW is something much more EMOTIONAL.
- BROOKE BOBB
DEMNA'S New DAWN

Demna is smiling. It's early December, and the 42-year-old artistic director of Balenciaga is in Los Angeles on the day before the house's Pre-Fall 2024 presentation, the location of which on a beatific street in L.A.'s glitzy Hancock Park neighborhood, with a dead-center horizon view of the Hollywood Sign-will remain a fiercely guarded secret right up until showtime.

In advance of my interview with the mononymous designer, who dropped his surname a few years ago, I'd decided to stop by Erewhon-the internet-famous celebrity-haunt L.A. grocery store known for its immaculate assortment of organic produce and prepared foods, Sea Moss Gel wellness elixirs, and a Hailey Bieberformulated smoothie. I went, I saw, and I consumed one of Bieber's Strawberry Glaze Skin beverages (which, it turns out, has more calories than a large Starbucks Frappuccino). I also purchased a $52 Erewhon-logo tote bag to bring to my meeting with Demna-as a prop as much as anything, hoping it would grab his attention, as he has proved to be a keen observer of digital trends or ephemera, with a knack for knowing what will go viral.

I carry the tote through the Chateau Marmont, where Demna is holed up, and after a brief wait in the lobby I'm led to his suite, where he is standing with a pair of assistants on the balcony. Demna makes his way over to me dressed the way he almost always is: in baggy patchworked Frankenstein cargos he stitched together himself and a pink hoodie over a distressed tee, with a dark cap that casts a shadow over his face and big Balenciaga 3XL sneakers.

PETER LINDBERGH, MARCH 2007

FASHION OFTEN LIKES to draw on the past, returning to the mood board of reliably revolutionary ideas and inspirations-the ones that thrilled us when we first saw them and never fail to deliver that familiar jolt of excitement when they resurface on the runways, in the culture, and in our feeds and lives.
